BIRDCAGE.

Application filed August This invention relates to a bird cage and has for its primary object the construction of a bird cage of more substantial design in which thek various parts are so constructed and assembled that soldering is practically eliminated. Y

Another object of the invention is the arrangement of parts so that any part may be readily renewed.

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the shape and arrangement of wire strands so that they will be rigidly held in place.

Vith these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein: y

F ig, l is a side elevation of a bird cage constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig.2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line A-l of Fig. l looking upwardly.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the yoke portion of one of the wire strands.

Fig. 6 is a detailed view of another form of band,

Fig. 7 is a sectional view on the'line 7 7 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a sectional view on the line 8 8 of Fig. l.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the many constructions of my invention the numeral l designates a base or base ring having a horizontal flange 2 and depending lip 3 a continuation of the flange and contiguous to the flange is an annular groove 4 for the purpose hereinafter de scribed.

The numeral 5 designates a band U shaped in cross section positioned intermediate the base l and cap 6. A plurality of wire strands 7 of U shaped formation eachhas its yoke portion 8 bent laterally to engage under the horizontal flange 2 and be seated in the groove 4c as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

1, 1924. serial No. 729,585.

The limbs 9 of the wire strands pass upwardly through the holes in the band 5 and have their ends pass through the rim l0 of the cap so as to engage under the cap. A plate ll covers such exposed ends. Attached to the plate 11 is the usual swing l2.

In Figures 6 and 7 I have shown the bandV 3 of different formation having seated therein a ring insert 14 that is provided with ears 15 through which the limbs of the wire strands pass v From the foregoing description taken Vin connection with the accompanying drawing *it will be apparent that I provide a bird I claim is: y v

l. A bird cage comprising abase having' tached to the cap in different manners than a. flange and a groove contiguous to th'e flange, a pluralityof wire strands forming the body of the bird cage and having portions looped under said flange and set in said groove, said strands having their free ends 'clamped together.

2. A bird cage comprising a base having a horizontal flange, a depending lip a continuation of groove contiguous to the flange, a band U shaped in cross section, of wire strands of U shape formation with the yoke portions bent at an angle to engage under said flange and seat in said groove with the intermediate portion passingV through the band an-d their ends xed to said cap. i

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature;
